3 A Resolution to Protect America s Homeless Population 0 At any given time over million Americans are homeless; and Homelessness is often the result of a sudden and traumatic life experience rather than as a result of laziness or incompetence; and Crimes committed against individuals because of their status as homeless are growing in quantity and ferocity; and Homeless victims of crime are often targeted specifically for their status as homeless; and Current Federal law continues to ignore this growing epidemic of violent crimes motivated by extreme animus against homeless individuals; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the UIL Congress here assembled amend the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act so as to include the homeless in the definitions section of hate crimes.

5 A Resolution to Increase Transparency in FISA Courts RESOLVED, The FISA court has already ruled in favor of governmental intrusion of American citizens; and More transparency in the courts decisions may decrease the unfavorable rulings infringing on privacy; and The US prides itself on personal freedoms; and Privacy is critical to personal freedoms; now, therefore, be it That the UIL Congress here assembled make the following recommendation that the Congress significantly increase transparency in FISA court rulings.

6 A Bill to Revoke the Helms Amendment BE IT ENACTED BY THIS UIL CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT: 0 SECTION. SECTION. SECTION. The United States Federal Government shall revoke the Helms amendment. The Helms amendment was first enacted in and states that, No foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions. The United States Congress shall revoke the Helms amendment. A: USAID has interpreted this amendment to prohibit U.S. funding of abortions that would preserve the physical or mental health of a woman, yet allow it for victims of rape or incest, or to save a woman s life.

8 A Resolution To Encourage a Vote On The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. 0 0 Whereas, RESOLVED, current international law does little to regulate seawater pollution caused by human actions, which has, in recent years, becoming an increasingly pressing environmental issue; and the ratification of such a piece of legislation would likely encourage the further investigation of deep sea resources internationally that would among other things, benefit the U.S and its Allies economically and; the current escalation of the South China Sea conflict between China and Japan has become increasingly harmful to United States interest in the region; and the ratification of UNCLOS would determine a twelve mile territorial sea limit and a two hundred mile economic sea limit that would help to set maritime borders between countries and would likely help to deescalate the aforementioned conflict; and the United states should not become directly involved in the South China Sea, rather set an example, and encourage peace in the region with the ratification of UNCLOS ; and the United States should work to protect civilian and military freedom of navigation; now, therefore, be it that this assembled UIL congress strongly encourage a timely vote on the U.N Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to prevent further escalation of the South China Sea conflict and in order to reduce maritime pollution..

9 A Resolution to reform the United States of America into a constitutional monarchy based off the British system 0 the success of the British parliamentary system of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has sparked calls for the U.S. to transition into constitutional monarchy; and the current administration in Washington, D.C. has been under extreme scrutiny to improve their policies that have led to fruition; and the current president of the United States of America has been following imperialist policies in Iraq and the entire Middle East; and the implementation of a new political system may encourage more investing and more careful management of the political landscape of the United States of America; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the UIL Congress here assembled do call for the reformation of the United States of America into a constitutional monarchy; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the name of America will now be the Holy American Empire.
